Mauritania Coast Guard rescues 260 migrants
260 irregular migrants were rescued from boats en route from Gambia to the Spanish Canary Islands after seven days at sea. Repeated rescue operations over the past few months highlight increased strain on the capabilities of the Mauritanian coast guard. Human rights organizations indicate that official figures mask numerous deaths and disappearances, with more than 1,300 migrants dying or going missing since the beginning of the year on this perilous route, which is considered one of the most dangerous in the world due to poor sailing conditions and long distances.
